@Asta: you can probably go whichever way you choose with the phantom wolves, NPC or directly controlled, though I am wondering whether they're in the form of actual wolves or bipedal like Sovereign.

I'll control them directly then I guess, but if it gets too messy and confusing, I'll probably regulate them to NPC status for future battles. 

Also, they're in the form of bipedal wolves like Sovereign, just smaller, and of course weaker in every aspect save for their ability to never actually 'stay' deceased during a battle; Sovereign can recall them back to the Arena if he wants to. As should be expected, the summoning power has a cool down period. I'm thinking three posts or so.

I also never truly defined Sovereign's dimensions. He's twice the height of a normal man, but is incredibly dense. He probably weighs more than a standard automobile, which is approximately two tons. This revision was made in response to Dag's description of him in the post for the battle's opening. 

I'm not going to go back and edit in distinct actions for the Shadow Hounds however. I'll let your character perform his counter actions first to see what Sovereign's next moves are.
